certain new and useful Improvements in Water-Heat ers, of which the following is a specification, such-as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This .invention relates to devices lor heating water for use in bath tubs and for other purposes in which it is desired to heat water quickly; and the object thereof is to provide an improved devicelof this class which may be used in connection with a bath tub or in connection with any other receiver-into which the water from the heater flows or will How; a further object being .to provide a water heater of the class specified which is simple in construction and operation and which is also portable and may be conveniently moved from place to place and which may be applied wherever devices of this kind are required.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specificatirni, of which the accompanying drawing forms a part7 in which the separate parts of our improvementare designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in which;-

Figure l is a central ver/tical section of our improved waterheater; and, Fig. 2 a plan View of a coil or supplemental heater which we employ.

Our invention comprisesa plurality of mitin water heating elements a, a supplemental heater orcoil b placed under the main heating elements a and a burner c placed under each of the supplemental heaters or coils b. a Y

In the accompanying drawing two of the main heating elements o are shown together with two oi the coils spaced one from the other s0 as to form thin spaces or chambers a between said plates a2 and a3.

A water supply b2 communicates with the bottom coil or supplemental.. heater b and at the center of said coil is an 'upwardly' directed'pipe b3 secured centrallyA in the bottom plate a2 of the bottom main heater aand communicating with the lbottom chamber in 'said bot'- tom main heating element a formed by the plate a3, and the center of the top plate of each of the main heating elements a is preferably raised as shown at a7 so as to form an enlarged chamber ea in the central top portion of said main heating elements, and a pipe b4 is secured in the central top portion of the .top plate a2 of the bottom main heating element o and with the next adjacent supplemental coil or heater lnarranged thereover, and the lop main heating element a is provided in a similar manner with adischarge pipe d designed tol discharge the water into the tub or other receiver. l

. 'lhe burners c arc preferably circular in form and cach is .provided willi a gas supply pipe c2 connected with 'a main gus supply pipe c, and each of the pipes ci A is also provided with an air inlct pipe and regulator c2 similar in construction lo the corresponding parts of a llnnsen burner. i l

' The operative paris ofV the device arc 'incloscd by a casing f, and in practice thc main hcating elements a are prcl'crabl y provided with dcpcnding and outwardly directed flanges g thc cdgcs of which are beaded as shown at g'2 and fitted in corresponding beads f 2 on the casing f, and below the bottom burner c is preferably placed a transverse plate h which is fitted to the casing f in the same manner as the flanges andrims r1 of the 'main heating elements o ahd on which is placed a pan combustion'from said casing. The depending flanges or rims g of the main heating elements a are also provided with ports or passages g to permit the hot gases or products of combustion from the burners to pass upwardly therethrough and around the main heating elementsa, and the Vcasing f is preferablgr provided witlA a handle i by which it may be convenientlykcarried when necessary.

In practice the pipe d which discharges the water from the heater is preferably left open at all times, while the pipe d? which supplies the water to the heater may be closed by a valve the usual manner.

By means ot this device .the water is first heated in the bottom or supplemental heater or coill b by means of the burner c located thereunder, and passing 'from the coil b it enters the bottom chamber of the bottom main heating clement a and passes around the plate a therein, and then out through the pipe b4 into the next upper supplemental heater or coil b from which it passes instantly obtained.

""Our vinveliltion is not limited to the enact details ofl construction herein shown and described and especially to the manner of connecting the main heating elements a with the vcasing f, and it will be understood tha-t the supplemental heaters or coils b may consist of any desired numberof separate coils, and Water may be admitted to the bottom coil in any desired manner, and

saidcoilsand ythe main heating elements may also be* placed in communication in any desired manner, and while we have shown and described the .supplemental heaters or coils b`, it is evident that the same may,'if desired, be omitted in which event the bottom and top chambers of iiie main heating elements a would be placedin coinniunication and water supplied thereto,

In case odriimpro'ved water heater is used as a portable .heater to'be moved from one point to another, the

" supplypipe willbe provided with a iiexible tube as will also rthe water supply pipe 'and the Water discharge pipe, but if the heater is to be used permanentlyin connection with `a stationary bath tub, all of said connections may be permanent and the lieaiger` may be- 'supported on a shelf adjacent' to the tub or' 'infany deaired mannerv.- l

' -Having fully described onrinvention, what we claim as new and desire to secure by 4Letters Patent, is ;v-' i 1. A water heater comprising :i plurality of 'heating ele- `ments placed'one above an Aother''nn'd'composed of top 'and bottom'platel -nnd n central plate wherebyeach of said heatlng'elements is divided into top and bottom chambers,

4 agus burner-'placed under euch of said beating elements, at.

"eSport-of thjiottom heating element, moons for placing the centerof the top` part of each heating element in communicang for supplying water to the center oi the bottom nl'cqtion wlthtlle center of the bottom port of tile next adjacent heating element thereover, and a water discharge pipe connected with the: center of the top pnrt of the top 'heating element, all of said parts being inclosed in a cas- 2.y A'water lien-ter of the class described, comprising',r a plurality ot main 'heating -elements placed yone above an other and each of which .is composed of a top'and bottom plate and a. central ,plate dividing said main heating elements into top andl'bottoii chambers, coils forming supplemental heating elements'undereach'of the main heating elements, a gas .burner placed n'ider each of the water coils, said main heating elements and coils being in communication, and all of said parts being inclosed in a cas- .'i. water heater of the class described, comprising a main casing, a plurality oi? main'water heating elements placed therein and each consistingl of top and bottom plates and a central plate whereby each of said main henting'elements is divided intol top nndbottom chambers, :i water coll placed under eaclrof the main hen-tin.;r elements and in communication with the bottom portion thereof` Said coils being' also in communication, a gas burner placed under eheh of said Water colis, means for supplying gas to snld gas burners, means for supplying wnicr to the hoti'om coil, 'and a water discharge pipe connected' with the top part of the top main heating element. Y

4. A water heater of the class described, comprising n plurality ofhmin heating elements divided into top and bottom ehamhers which are placed in communication, 'a water coll placed under euch of said elementsmthe water coil under the bottom main heatingelement being in com nmnication with the centrali part of the bottom chamber thereof, and the coil between the separate main heating elements being lln communication with the'central psu-t of tllefopvchamber of the'main heating element thereunder, and the central part of the bottom chamber of the 'main heating,r element thereover and the top chamber of the top main heating element being provided centrally with a .discharge pipe, and a gos burner placed under each of said coils, all of said parts being inclosed in :teasing having perforations or openings therein.l
